Welcome to the Struggling Guitarist's blog!

The goal of this blog is to give a play by play account of what it is like to go from a complete beginner (where I am now) at guitar to a Virtuoso like Joe Satriani (Where I hope to get)! It is going to be a long process I know, but with a little luck, a lot of hard work, and support from the online community I think we can make it!

So without further ado lets get started with a little background information to get you up to speed. I have been attempting to teach myself guitar for a little over six years with varying degrees of success. I am not a guitar expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I have a great desire to become one. On this blog you will be able to follow along with me as I progress through my journey. I will provide links to information that I find useful as well as a weekly update on my practice schedule.

So how does this work? To start I will be providing a library of links to extremely useful information from some of the best teachers in the business. I will give you a play by play account of how I use my practice time so that hopefully you can follow along and progress in your playing right along with me. Finally I will open up the blog to teachers and experts that are willing to help guide us through the learning experience.

Guitar skills are not something we are born with, It takes time and a lot of hard work to achieve a high level of success on this instrument. But with the proper dedication and enthusiasm anything is possible.

Just remember the following points to keep on track:

Stay focused!

Stay motivated!

Practice does not make perfect. PERFECT Practice makes Perfect!!!

I look forward to the journey.
